Double Deep Pallet Racking
Double deep pallet racking is a high-density storage solution that maximizes storage capacity by storing pallets two deep within each aisle. This is achieved by using specialized forklift trucks that can access pallets stored at the back of the rack. Double deep pallet racking is ideal for warehouses with limited space and a high volume of similar inventory.
Double deep pallet racking is a storage system that maximizes storage density by storing pallets two deep within each aisle. This system utilizes specialized forklifts equipped with telescoping mast extensions or side-shifting capabilities to access and retrieve pallets from both front and rear positions.
Efficient Use of Floor Space: Increases pallet positions by up to 30-40% without expanding the warehouse footprint. Eliminates the need for an aisle between each set of racks, saving significant space.
Increased Storage Density: Achieves a storage density that is 50% higher than selective pallet racking by storing two pallets deep instead of one.
Good Pallet Selectivity: Offers 50% selectivity, allowing access to 50% of the pallets at any time, which is a significant improvement over push-back racking’s 25% selectivity.
Cost-Effective: A relatively cost-effective racking solution compared to other high-density storage solutions such as drive-in or pallet flow racking.
Easy to Reconfigure: Can be easily reconfigured to adjust shelf levels or convert to selective racking, making it a versatile solution adaptable to changing needs.
